Leicester University declared Monday that the remains found underneath a car park last September at the Grey Friars excavation in Leicester, were "beyond reasonable doubt" to be the long lost remains of England's King Richard III, missing for 500 years. Richard was immortalized in a play by Shakespeare as a hunchbacked usurper who left a trail of bodies — including those of his two young nephews, murdered in the Tower of London — on his way to the throne.(AP Photo/PA, Rui Vieira)
